Chapter 349.1: Sytry's Strategy ②



Chapter 349.1: Sytry\'s Strategy ②

It would have been nice if the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Serai) and I could have helped, but each Magi has their specialties. The Magic Circle for the device manufacturing requires five types of Magic to be poured into, but among them, Fire Magic must be poured in quite powerfully.

It would be one thing if they only had to activate their Magic at the same time, but Spirit People are not good at Fire Magic due to their race. I cannot use Fire Magic, and among the members of Starlight (Hoshi no Serai), only Kruz Argen can use it.

However, that doesn\'t mean we don\'t have work. Instead, we work on processing the gemstones into Magic Stones that will power the device. Without power, the devices cannot operate. This is also a task that requires delicate Magic manipulation, although not as demanding as manufacturing the devices.

The sun has completely set by the time we finish the treatments on the gemstone and Lucia uses up all the glass that Sytry and the others had taken out.

Everyone, including me, is exhausted from the nerve-wracking work. The only person who is in perfect condition is probably Sytry, who is in charge of giving instructions.

However, our expressions are at no point gloomy. It is because there is hope. That single, seemingly coincidental, victory of rescuing Ruin inspired us.

Just at that moment, the members who have been examining the location to install the device also return.

After recapturing Ruin using the Dog\'s Chain, the trio of Thief, Liz, Eliza, and Tino once again went outside Yggdra to investigate, while Adler and the rest monitored the situation with the power of the mirror of reality and were marking the location on a map.

Although it isn\'t as threatening as facing Finis, it is a dangerous mission with the possibility of other Phantoms attacking, but Liz and the three of them have no noticeable injuries. However, Liz, who is in the lead, has a grim expression on her face. Lucia, who is struggling to breathe as she puts all her energy into manufacturing the device, raises her eyebrows and calls out.

Welcome back. Did something happen? (Lucia)

No There isn\'t any Phantom attacking us today, and I didn\'t have any particular trouble But it feels like I\'m being watched all the time. It didn\'t feel good. (Liz)

I could feel eyes on me. Right after I entered the forest, and all the times after that (Tino)

Says Tino while her shoulders are shaking.

I thought they were quite wary of us since they put a barrier, but I am sure we have never felt someone\'s gaze at us before. This is not a very pleasant story for us.

I, who is not a god, do not know how things will turn out. However, the situation is definitely moving. Not only on our side but also on the Temple of Origin\'s side.

Liz clicks her tongue and says in a displeased manner.

So, since it was a pain, I went near the Temple of Origin, but they were staring at me from inside the barrier. The black-maskedThe Phantoms didn\'t come out even when I provoked them. There\'s no opening in the barrier, so I couldn\'t get in So annoying. (Liz)

Did you go near it Hmph. You are the same as ever. (Lapis)

You won\'t know unless you get closer. Aaaah, those stares It\'s so irritating. Even though Luke-chan could have been able to break that barrier, he just had to not be there at the critical moment! (Liz)

Liz throws a glance after hearing what Lapis says and kicks the ground in frustration.

I don\'t think even the most skilled swordsman would be able to cut through a spatial barrier.

Finally, Eliza, who has been *furafura* wandering around with a sleepy look on her face, lets out a breath and says.

Right now it seems like they\'re being quiet, but the other party is watching how we\'re going to react. From the look of it, if something happens, I think they\'ll attack right away. (Eliza)

The Phantoms of the Temple of Origin are powerful. We were able to retrieve Ruin and Finis, but hundreds of other elites from Yggdra are missing.

Yggdra\'s military strength is still very small compared to that of the Phantoms.

As if to confirm my anxiety, Sytry frowns and makes a troubled expression.

Well, well, well It has become quite troublesome again, isn\'t it. It takes time for the device to take effect after it is activated. Moreover, we have to activate several devices at the same time. (Sytry)

Right. The operation is still in Phase 2Just the preparation stage.

Well, we wont know until we try fighting them, right? Adleeer, you guys could be of some use! (Liz)

Why do we have toIs what I\'d like to say, but I get it. We need to show Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) how useful we can be. (Adler)

Says Adler with a cruel smile.

While thinking of Cry, I try to imagine the upcoming battle. But I couldn\'t predict it at all.

I know nothing. What are the Phantoms thinking, how many there are, and how powerful they are. AndWhat can Yggdra do with their current strength?

There is also luck that plays during battles. Moreover, even for Spirit People who boast higher abilities than humans, it is impossible to be able to read the outcome of the battle and to also control the flow of battle.

Cry Andrich still shows no signs of showing up.

Where and what on earth is he doing? Or Is everything still as he expected?

Eliza Onee-sama WellI\'m going to ask you a silly question, but do your feet want to run away? (Tino)

All the time, I want to run away all the time. This is a losing battle. It is normal if you think about it normally, though. That\'s how big the difference in strength is between us and our opponent. (Eliza)

!? I-I see After all, it\'s that kind of battle again (Tino)

But now that we have come this far, we can\'t run away anymore. We\'ve to bet on Sytry\'s device and protect it with everyone who can fight. (Eliza)

Tino mutters dejectedly, while Eliza looks more serious than ever. I have a faint feeling that it is a battle like this, but even for an experienced Thief, it didn\'t seem to be a battle with a lot of chances to win.

However, as Eliza said, we have no choice but to move forward either way. This is my last chance to redeem myself for not being able to stop the World Tree from going out of control.

Thanks for reading! Thanks Oliver for the Ko-fi! Poor Luke still petrified, I wonder if he is still enshrined in a corner of Cry\'s room.
